Speaking itnpersonally, and as a
democrat, we cannot endorse the ac
ton of the democratic members of
the legislature in the senatorial
matter. They have strayed from
the beaten paths and are roaming
in new and dangerous pastures.
While it may be truthfully said
that they are not the first, nor the
only ones, who have defied the work
of a party caucus. such utterance is
no defense for their conduct, nor
will it palliate their wrong doing
in the opini IN of the party through,
out the state. A party bereft of It's
organization, in rebellion against
its leaders, and encouraging inter
nal faciional strife, is sure TO find an
early and deserved grave.-Parkers.

The King of Hanover.

His majesty was very abStlnent, as we
have seen, and had great faith in natures
own processes of cure. Certain forms of
indulgence he particularly hated. To-
bacco he could not endure, and his dis
like of it was such that his private secre-
tary, Gen. Won During, who was a slave
to the habit, as most military men in Ger
many are, was put to the most severe and
laughable straits to indulge it and yet not
to offend the king.
Half past 8 was the generals hour of
morning attendance. Five minutes be-
fore that time four servants stood in the
passage leading to the ante-room. One
held an old horse soldiers cloak with a
slit behind; one held a red hot shovel with
long handle like a warming pan; one
held a decanter of water and glass, and
a bottle containing a colored liquid; and
one was there to hold the papers and to
take the pipe which the general smoked
down the passage to the very last mo-
ment. No. then covered the old secre-
tary's shoulders with the threadbare and
stained old cloak, which had gone through
the Peninsular war and which was now
buckled tight around the neck. No. 2
poured some incense into the hot shovel
and inserted it between the generals legs
through the slit behind. The process con
tinued for minute or two and the old
man was nearly stifled but only impreg-
mated Then No. 5 from decanter in
hand poured out a glass of water, of
which the general took hearty gulp,
rinsed his mouth out and spat it on the
carpeted floor; then he threw off his
cloak seized his papers and letters from
No. and rushed steaming into the kings
presence as the various clocks struck the
.half hour.-Gentleman Magazine.

Mexican Iridescent Ware.

At Patzcuaro we found by chance, for
it was not displayed for sale, something
that interested us more than anything else
made in Mexico. This was a true rides
cent ware. The specimens we obtained
were small round and rectangular plates.
The luster is the true Saracenic, Alhambra
or Cubic luster, the real iridescence,
shimmering, shifting colors in changing
lights, ruby, green, blue. Would it not
be singular if this lost art were preserved
in Mexico? The ware is rude. The max
ers of it have not the certainty of produc-
ing particular color in a picture which
distinguishes Cubic work, and it lacks
the elegance and the glaze, the solidity and
fineness, of the Alhambra tiles. But it is
genuine iridescence. The plates are ex-
ceedingly thin and brittle. The luster
seems to be metallic, of copper, and the
effect to be produced by subjecting the
ware to an exceedingly high, temperature,
a firing SO fierce that clay is apparently
disintegrated, and has lost its ringing
quality.-Charles Dudley Warner in Har-
per's Magazine

dication of his Office and SO of other COM
mittees charged with examination of his
Office.
Since his term expired House commit
tee was appointed to examine the office,
and the attempt was again made to bring
the integrity and conduct of his Office into
question.
At the next session Gen. Rogers called
on the General Assembly for q joint-com
mttee to review the actions and doings of
that committee, and the evidence taken
and the report, like the others, left no
cloud over the reputation of the late Sec
ond Auditor as faithful, efficient officer
and an honest man. 1t was in evidence be-
fore the committee that during his official
connection with that Office of thirteen wears
more than one hundred million of dollars
in money and securities passed through
his hands and under his signature, and not
a dollar had been lost to the State by any
malfeasance or malfeasance of his.
Gen. Rogers had his enemies, like most
men long in Office. but they were very few,
and few men in Virginia had more or fas-
ter friends.
1t is pretty certain that he was the last
surviving member of the Assembly of
1867 and 27-'28, including West Vir-
ginia.
Of good moral character from youth, did
not unite with the Church till about 1857
when he was confirmed by Bishop Meade
and continued member; was frequently
elected delegate to the diocesan councils.

Old Time Mint Machinery.

In former times coins were often cast
and indeed some of the most beautiful
specimens Of numismatic workmanship
known, such as the medals of Giulio Ro-
mano, were so made. Striking from en-
graved dies has, however, been practiced
from early times; most of the Greek and
Roman coins, as well as those of India,
were thus formed. The invention of the
rolling mill and of the disk cutter, which
seems to have been suggested by Leonardo
ola Vinci, who designed many of the
medieval coins, has served to perpetuate
the method of striking. The impression
of the dies was originally given by blows
from hammer, method which continued
to be used as late as 1862 owing to the
prejudice of the "moneyers, who resisted
the introduction of machinery for the pur-
pose The hammer was, however, grad
ually replaced by the screw press, and this
machine, of much the same form as that
used by Benvenuto Cellini, who made
coins for Pope Clement VII, is figured in
Akerman's plate of the coming room of
the Tower, published in the early part of
this century. Boulton, in 1890, first ap-
piled steam power to the press, and his
screw press continued to be employed in
the mint down to 1882, when the lever
press of Uhlhorn was exclusively adopted.
Good Words.

Pill Mixers of the Future

"There are several reasons,'' observed
an eXprofeSsor in the college of phar-
macy to a reporter recently, ''why women
would make excellent druggists. For in.
stance, women are quicker than men,
learn more easily and are less apt to be
deceived in reading prescriptions They
are infinitely neater about their work, and
can do up small parcels, mix prescriptions
and wait on customers with grace that
the male clerk may envy, but can never
hope to rival Fancy the difference be-
tween q pretty female clerk at the soda
water fountain and the usual stupid and
clumsy boy! There is no comparison"
s'Why are not more women engaged in
this bJ1siness?'
''Principally because it is new idea.
The first woman druggist / know of
started in New Orleans less than ten
years ago. All new ideas are of slow
growth. I am sure that before long we
will find as many female drug clerks as
we do saleswomen in dry goods stores.
You see, drug clerks are compelled to pass
q rigid examination before they are al
lowed to compound prescriptions. This
usually necessitates either o short course
in medicine knowledge of Latin and q
thorough study of chemistry at a college
of pharmacy or several years of eXpe-
rience in drug store. The former study
is too expensive for most young women,
and the latter has been closed to them, as
a rule, on account of the prejudice of
druggists against female clerks. This
will all be changed in time, though. The
work is healthy, easy and well paid, and
think women will have equal chances in
it with men,"
"Wouldn't you be afraid to trust them
with an important prescriptionF'
''Not in the least" answered the pro-
fessor. ''On the contrary" he added, in
conclusion, ''they never have heads on
them from overdrinking. The don't keep
late hours. They always have their wits
about them. No, give me the female drug
clerk every time for both ornament and
utility. New York Mail and Express.
